The Farm Life Happiest.
We do not understand why
so many of our boys are leaving
the farm and going to the rail
- .. roads, cotton mills, and to the
s work, when the farm
life is witho ubt the happi
est and best life one can.
Very few boys not raised on the
farm could go out land makea
a success farming; on the other
hand nearly any boy raised on
the farm, if he would content
himself and put as much good
common sense into the farm
as he would in any other work,
if he has success, he would
succeed on the farm. Of course
* all professions and avocations
have their drawbacks, their
shadows and their burdens, but
the farm life has, we believe,
fewer than any other.
The boy leaves the farm, gets
a clerkship in a store in the city,
marries and settles down to a
city life, lives out of a paper
sack-and it is mighty poor liv
ing-any time -he has a -little
extra company that means
extra paper sacks and the poor
11. fello-w4oes not see how he is to
pa-' for it because he is already
taxed to the limit to live. While
on the farm the more the merrier,
go out in the yard get chickens,
eggs, potatoes, beans, cabbage,
etc. When the crop is eathered
you have your corn in the crib,
your meat in the house. your
cow feed and forage in the barn
and you feel independept at
least to some extent. On the
farm you get the purest wa'.er
and the best atmosphere. you
get the most wholesome exer
--aj --.fter a hard day's work
you can lie down and sleep. No
one to tell you to dust the shoes
and clothes, straighten out the
counter, put the goods back in
the shelves and get ready for
the trade tomorrow. After all
thke work is done, running
around town getting in bad
* company, ruining your health
and your morals. One of the
most delightful things about
farm life is its regularity.
Early in the morning. to work.
dinner at 12 mn., one hour to
rest, back to work again and
supper early. When Saturday
dinner comes, on most farms
work and worry is laid aside
till Monday morning and Sun.
day in the country at the old
country church, then at the
neighbor's house, are bright
spots in the memory of many a
country boy that will go with
him to old age.
The farm is offering more in
ducements now than ever be
fore. Increasing demand for all
.products raised on the farm and
.better prices. The farmer can
find immediate cash sale for
everything he can raise at fair
prices. The diy is here when
the truck farmer can make
money rapidly, and there are
not enough to supply the de
. The dairy farm and
-poultry'farm are daily becoming
more and more remunerative,
but in our judgement the great
est gold mine of all is one not
yet established in this section,
so far as we know. That is the
stock farm. Raise mules, horses,
cattle and hogs, for sale. There
is money in it as sure as twice
two make four. Let some of our
farmers who are able to engage
in the stock business try it.
-Our hillsides are just suited to
grow the finest grass. that can
be grown. This is a great coun
*try of ours and the farmer has
the greatest opportunity yet
offered him. We must have
more farmers or we can't raise
enough to supply the increasing
demand for farm products.
It seems that for several years
past there has been a real
exodus from the farm and we
hope that the time is not far
distant when the people will
come flocking back to the farm.
*and make our hillsides like gar
den spots and our valleys blos
som like the rose.
We heard a staunch farmer say
the other day that he could
make $5.00 on the farm where
he could make $1.00 merchandis
ing, and he seems to be succeed
ing at both,
A GoodlIaw.
That is a good law made by
the last assembly, and printed
on page 529 of acts 1912. It
says a white boy may be com
mitted to the Reform school at
Florence with the consent of
his parents Qr guardian without
being tried or convicted of crime.
The boy must be oyer eight and
less than seventeen years of age.
